Jo, I think it requires Admin permissions for that to be enabled, unfortunately. (Which is why Brad gave me an Admin account - I'm not really.)
Follow up - I just tested it with a dummy Mod account: those functions are NOT enabled.
Cheers

I think we have a new record - 180 identical posts from the same spammer....

Yeah I'm the same...I don't have that status.
I had to delete multiple posts this morning and I had to delete them all individually...probably about 300 of them!
I'd really appreciate it if you could set me up so I can delete multiple posts in one click. |

Daniel, do you have the option to delete the user, or just individual postings?
If you can delete the user, there should be a "Delete User with All Postings" option.
If not, it may be that that functionality may not be available to Moderators. I know Brad put in a "Delete Multiple Posts" button, but it never seemed to work.

Ok so here's what I'm doing, I select the users profile and then scroll down to the base of the page and there is nothing there.
There is no Delete Multiple Posts button.
It's just blank.
It took me half an hour to delete the spam this morning.
I went out for an hour and a half and when I came back the same spammer (the online pharmacy wanker) had posted the same crap over the entire forum again.
I hope a rat bights of his tender bits and he bleeds to death.        |

Um, Greg - I think Daniel's spending more time on this than I am.
There are a number of Moderators, I just happen to be the one that answers questions most.
